Yesterday the internet was all abuzz at the possibility of Chelsea Handler replacing Craig Ferguson when his contract expires at the end of June. The buzz came from Chelsea herself who sent out a photo(above) with the CBS logo and the caption business meeting. According to The NY Post, CBS says the meeting was with their syndication group and that she is not a candidate to replace Ferguson. The interesting thing I took from that denial is that they didn't say Ferguson wasn't going to be replaced. They already owe him $5M for passing over him for the Late Show spot so maybe they want to pay that and then get rid of him. I think he should stay, but it wouldn't shock me if he was a little ticked off to not really even be considered and maybe he does want to leave. If he was staying you would expect a differently worded response than “There are no discussions with Chelsea Handler regarding the network’s 12:30 late night broadcast; her meeting with CBS yesterday was a general meeting with our syndication group."

Usually I want to support women in male dominant fields, but Chelsea is a massive B*tch. She screwed her way to her own show on E. She was with the CEO of Comcast. She still thinks prostituting herself will get her what she wants, but she was ridden hard & put away wet.

I heard that the first thing Chelsea did when she started making money was put money into college funds for her nieces & nephews. Come on, people! Lots of people have abrasive personalities - but she can't be all bad!

Dont really care about either of them. Chelsea already looks like the harpy who's the last one out of the bar, but she likes that. As for Ferguson, he's nice enough but I dont see him having multi faceted appeal to do anything else. Less he wants to mosey over to Conans station. Cause that worked out great for him. Not.

Can't stand her. Her book (I only read the first one) was awful and mean-spirited, and she basically admitted to screwing her way to the top but with an "I'm so funny, I could make it work!" schtick. THEN she gripes about how hard it is to be a woman in the business. I think a mattress store next to a liquor store is more on par with her level of talent.

Awww everyone's hating on Chelsea. I love her. Seems like everyone is upset that she slept her way into a job, drinks a lot, and doesn't apologize. The only way she's different from any other female celebrity is that she's not afraid to say what's on her mind and she's not going to pretend to be something she isn't. I respect her.

Craig Ferguson has other talents to fall back on, acting, voice work and he never stopped doing the stand up comedy circuit where he isn't bleeped out at the time. If HBO let Emily Mortimer create her own HBO show why not Craig.

I love Craig-what you see is what you get & he pretty much blows off CBS censor rules & as Tina said "the celebrity questions"..More importantly, UNLIKE CHELSEA'S BOOK, CRAIG'S IS REALLY MOVING- I was in early recovery & his book actually helped me....a lot-

Yep that was me. He didn't want it, he wanted the 5 million bonus, plus an extension at 8-9 million per year. He saw how moving from 12:30 to 11:30 really neutered good comedy from Letterman and Conan as their shows just became about guests plugging their projects. Last I heard CBS was going to do the deal, but's its possible they want to get some other people in and maybe force his price down a little. Also CH doesn't want a daily show, she wants a weekly show with more time off. She might get it on TV, but could take a Sirius gig for now until something comes along.

But... but... but... wait, didn't her agent say when she announced she was leaving E! that she had about 7 other offers? I guess none of them were in the big leagues. Handler's very undesirable and I bet there is nothing on the table for her at all. Good riddance.
